The People Behind the Wheel

Meet Our Team

Nine local drivers, all born and raised in Bali, all passionate about showing you an island they genuinely love.

Owner

Kadek Setiawan

Owner & Lead Driver

Born and raised in Ubud, Kadek has been sharing his island with visitors since 2012. What started as a passion for showing friends around his hometown grew into Ubud Lovely Driver - a small, personal service built on genuine hospitality rather than tourist-trade volume. Kadek speaks fluent English, knows every back road between Ubud and Amed, and still gets excited when guests see the terraces for the first time.

“Bali is not just my home - it is my proudest thing to share.”

Balinese · Indonesian · EnglishFavourite spot: Sidemen Valley at dawn - most visitors never make it there.

Wayan Yudiantara

Senior Driver

Wayan has been driving for Ubud Lovely Driver since the early days and has accumulated an encyclopaedic knowledge of Bali's temples, ceremonies, and hidden corners.

“Every road in Bali leads somewhere beautiful - you just have to know which one to take.”

Ketut Yudiana

Driver & Activity Specialist

Ketut is the team's go-to for adventure experiences - he knows every rafting operator, trekking guide, and ATV track on the island and will make sure you're booked with the very best. When he's not organising activities, he's behind the wheel for day tours and airport runs.

“Bali has something for every kind of traveller - my job is to match the two.”

Balinese · Indonesian · EnglishFavourite spot: The summit of Mount Batur at 5:45 AM - there's nothing quite like it.

“Your holiday starts the moment I pick you up. I want it to feel that way.”

Balinese · Indonesian · EnglishFavourite spot: The beach at Amed - still the real Bali, in my opinion.
